I was discussing with Oliveran about practicing a certain map, and it would be great to know when this map appears on IG server even though I'm not in the game, via a Windows "notification balloon" or something like that on the task bar.

The best way to accomplish this would be to build on what is already there *. A quick inspection of the IG output suggests that servers.php is queried every five minutes using AJAX. Visiting servers.php gives me fairly nice output, however, it's completely wrong. Is there any chance of fixing this?

Also, I don't really need HTML formatting for my app, just JSON or even line separated plain text would do fine (to conserve unnecessary data transfer). Adding a HTTP param for controlling the kind of output would be nice.

Who do I need to talk to about this? I can do all coding (although, I'm sure there are good reasons to why servers.php isn't being updated ).

* A more exotic alternative would be to see if I could query the Warband master server for this info, but without having checked that closer I'm sure there's some layer of security against that.

Looks like there are several ways to do this. Vincenzo sits on the most obvious solution (module system sources for his mod), but I'm sure something can be done from scratch involving database on e.g. IG web server and customizing ENL server mod if he refuses to cooperate.

Edit 2: send_message_to_url seems to be the key operation, so I can make the mod changes myself and everything else in the chain. I will develop this thing privately, but I wonder if IG can host the final PHP script and database + install patches to coming ENL server module system releases?

A side effect is the IG servers' statuses on this web page can be fixed at the same time.

Edit 3: Vince has agreed to help! So this site should transparently get working again with quite small effort from server admins. After that I'll just plug into 22nd for my app enabling monitoring of any servers.

Edit 4: Shock (author of ENL server mod) will be working with me on this.

How's this coming along, Chaingun? I don't see a reason why we can't host the script and database.

Basically, some stuff works with 22nd servers (which might be closing down shortly if I understand Vincenzo right), but I need to get data from Shock's ENL mod instead, which may take another 1-2 weeks.
